Subject: [gentoo-user] Problem Installing alsa-driver

1 Hello all,
2
3 I've had to rebuild my system after my bonehead mistake of the other
4 day. I used the minimal install CD. The reinstallation is progressing
5 OK, but I'm having problems compiling alsa-driver. And this is what I
6 had installed on this machine previously.

13 On trying to emerge alsa-driver, this is the error message that I get:

15 checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error:

37 >From the above, it looks like my sound card is not being recognized, but
38 I don't understand why. It was recognized before I had to rebuild my
39 system.

41 I followed the link for the ALSA Matrix on the ALSA Guide page and
42 according to what was there, the driver is supposed to be intel8x0, this
43 didn't work and obviously, AC97, which is what lspci shows the card is
44 doesn't work either.
45
46 This section for config checks was also in the ALSA Guide and I got the
47 corresponding responses when I did this.
48
49 (Assuming the linux symlink points to the correct kernel)
50 # cd /usr/src/linux
51 # grep SOUND .config
52 (1. is true)
53 CONFIG_SOUND=y
54 (2. is true)
55 CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set
56 # grep SND .config
57 (and 3. is true)
58 CONFIG_SND is not set

61 Any idea what is going on here?
